Overview

Chibi (little) Judo helps children grow in wonderful ways. As we jump, run, and roll we develop balance, coordination, and confidence.

And we have fun! We start out learning our names in Japanese then do movement exercises, tumbling, and some simple judo techniques that teach us to fall safely. We place a strong emphasis on culture so everyone plays games, sings songs, and speaks the language of Japan. We learn to “nete” (lie down) and to “tonde” (leap) like a “raion” (lion).

In our positive learning environment, we bow politely to Sensei and to one another. At Hanabi respect comes as naturally as smiling.

(Parents' Night Out)

Dan who is in charge of the Dojo is very nice and welcoming. Even though our kids were not in the printed list due to server error he was very helpful in the matter to make sure everything was in order. Our kids had a wonderful time in attending the parents night out and told us they wanted to do it again. This was there first time being with other kids out for an evening that were not family or close friends. It was good to get them out of there comfort zone. I even explained this to Dan and he said not to worry they would do just fine. I can't wait to have our daughter do a free day trail at the Dojo itself to see if she wants to enroll in classes. BTW our kids are 4 and 8 for reference.

Lilian Miwa - My usually difficult 11 year old loves Hanabi! He's learned judo, Japanese writing and culture and he has fun! And as a mom of 3 kids with full time employment, I love how flexible it is. We can choose to do in person for a week and do online camp the next week when things are hectic. All my kids are too young to be vaccinated, so I'm always concerned about COVID safety precautions, but I feel confident with Hanabi. Domo arigato!!

Hanabi judo has the best virtual summer camp you can imagine! It is engaging and the kids don’t spend all the time glued to the screen because there are physical and art activities. They also get some much needed socialization with other kids. The instructors are patient and pay a lot of individual attention to each kid. Fantastic program!
